Our justice system should keep communities safe, hold people accountable for harm, and then let people rebuild their lives and support their families. The problem is that Illinois residency restrictions:
• force 100s of people with past convictions into homelessness, very disproportionately Black men.
• force 1,200 people to remain in prison due to lack of housing
• push people out of safe and stable housing when the residency zones change;
• and therefore decrease community safety.
